All of this subversive talk about wars of minority intolerance by the national church is just a smokescreen.. a temper tantrum for not being able to get one's own way at any cost rather than focusing on the spiritualgreater good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34346296.post-15826102407496376162007-02-12T09:15:00.000-05:002007-02-12T09:15:00.000-05:00Was the President of the House of Deputies out of ...Was the President of the House of Deputies out of order for making her comments with +Schofield so close? Or should she have been "good" and not commented on the Bishop's behavior since she is but a lay person and a woman at that?Frair Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855036304956508405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34346296.post-23312807768437778092007-02-11T16:03:00.000-05:002007-02-11T16:03:00.000-05:00I sympathize with and support those -- like you, D...I sympathize with and support those -- like you, Dr. Radner, Matt+, and many many others in Network and FiF dioceses and parishes -- still in ECUSA and hoping and praying for some solution that both protects the Gospel and makes some kind of ecclesiological sense.<BR/><BR/>But on the other hand, San Joaquin, Fort Worth, South Carolina, and many others have been fighting a (losing, I have to say) war of attrition against an apostate 815 for more than a decade, and the underlying struggle is more than a generation old. Ten years is a very long time for parents trying to raise children in a faithful church, or an elderly communicant planning his eventual funeral. <BR/><BR/>So whatever the outcome of Dar es Salaam, or Lambeth '08, or whatever, I just hope there are still enough faithful in the pews that it still makes a difference.Craig Goodrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624767388702032189noreply@blogger.com
